We Hate Spam!

We have recently instituted a system of spam control that helps keep the McHenry County Blog a lean, mean information machine. A side product of this process is that in certain cases you might be blocked or challenged to prove that you aren't a robot in order to comment on articles.

If for some reason the automated processes that are in place to prove that you are a human do not work, or if you have any other technical problems with the blog, please email techguy at any time for speedy resolution.

On January 20, 2017 tronald dump said with his tiny hands on the Bible he so often reads: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

October 18, 2017. “Late last night, a federal district court in Maryland issued a ruling blocking implementation of much of President Trump’s third travel ban order because it discriminates against Muslims, in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Like previous iterations of the travel ban order, Travel Ban 3.0 bars all or most entry into the United States by citizens of several Muslim-majority nations, with the important difference that the latest ban is permanent rather than a temporary measure lasting for 90 days.

The Maryland court relies on President Trump’s and his subordinates’ and advisers’ numerous statements equating the “territorial” ban adopted in all three iterations of the travel ban order with the “Muslim ban” Trump repeatedly advocated during the 2016 campaign. It concludes that Travel Ban 3.0 is largely a continuation and extension of the previous orders, and has the same underlying unconstitutional purpose of discriminating against Muslims. Judge Theodores Chuang’s opinion further notes that the President’s most recent statements about the travel ban issue “cast the Proclamation as the inextricable re-animation of the twice-enjoined Muslim ban, and…. convey the message that the third iteration of the ban—no longer temporary—will be the ‘enhanced expression’ of the earlier ones.” Judge Chuang previously wrote an opinion blocking Travel Ban 2.0.

Like yesterday’s ruling against the travel ban by a federal district court in Hawaii, Judge Chuang also ruled that Travel Ban 3.0 violated the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, which forbids discrimination in the issuance of immigration visas on the basis of nationality. His opinion includes some strong rebuttals to various defenses of the legality of the order under the INA. For example, he criticizes the distinction the administration seeks to make between visas and the right to enter, by noting that “receiving an immigrant visa is meaningless without later receiving permission to enter” and that “the denial of entry to immigrants would generally have the effect of causing the denial of immigrant visas” as well”.

Trump’s 1st year accomplishments has the LibLeft experiencing reality

A Holiday question for my compassionate conservative friends: Have tronald dump respected the office of commander-in-chief? Sit back and relax for a very entertaining answer…stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock…

The story that Cal posted after soliciting advertisers and summarily deleted the post. I’ve wondered, “why did Cal delete the story?” “Why did has he since not asked for additional sponsors?” The truth is, this blog only caters to a population of less than 500 people. Cal’s regular readership is the only driving force to keeping this tabloid alive.
